David Oluwale arrived from Nigeria to the UK as a stowaway in 1949 with dreams of studying to be an engineer. But the pavements of postwar Britain were not paved with gold and attitudes towards black immigrants were harsh. Four years after his arrival, Oluwale was involved in a scuffle in a pub and ended up in a mental hospital. Released, he started living on the streets of Leeds where he was subject to a campaign of police brutality. In May 1969, Oluwale's badly bruised body was pulled from the River Aire. The resulting investigation led to criminal charges against two police officers. Based on Kester Aspden's highly acclaimed book, Oladipo Agboluaje's play is a docudrama that exposes the social and racial injustices that were operating in the Yorkshire constabulary 40 years ago.
